good length wide outside off, Archer's premeditated paddle does not pay off. Misses that shot, and the ball goes through to the keeper. Adelaide Strikers win by 11 runs. They move to first on the points table as well.
Strikers vs Hurricanes, 31st Match at Adelaide, Jan 17 2018 - Ball by Ball Commentary
10.10 pm Alex Carey's 56-ball hundred set the tone for the Strikers at home today, after which a tight bowling effort, despite Doolan's 73, means that the team from Adelaide just back to first on the points table. A terrific match between two top-half teams. Hope you enjoyed ESPNcricinfo's coverage of this cracker. It's Sreshth, signing off for now.
Weatherald: "We're bowling so well at the moment. Today we batted well too, so hopefully we can go to the finals and win the whole thing. Today was just about staying calm in the second innings, we dropped a few catches, but we remained calm. The partnership with Carey was great. He took the pressure off me."
Jay: "Carey 100 runs (56 balls) / Doolan 73 runs (55 balls) sums up the game!!"
full on leg stump, tries to whip off his pads, but takes his boot on the way down the leg side, effort for Stanlake, who does well to pull this ball back
low full toss on off stump, swings hard and wild, flies over point to the man in the deep. Sliced shot
full and wide outside off, Archer can't maximise the free hit. Bunted down to wide long on
waist-high full toss on middle stump, swivels and pulls but not off the middle of the bat. Falls between short fine leg and deep backward square. Free hit, but he could've really punished this loose ball.
yorker on off stump, tries to whip this towards the leg side, but can't get under it. Pace taken off the ball as well
very full outside off, tapped to deep point. Christian wants the second, but slips while turning. Sharp throw from the deep, and he's short at the keeper's end. Good work from Carey too
Hobart Hurricanes need 22 to win.
full toss very wide outside leg stump, but Siddle has basically just followed the batsman. Down on one knee to slog this behind square, but misses his shot completely. Hits his front leg
good length on middle stump, the batsman had backed away too much. Punched past cover to the man in the deep. Too far away from the ball's length to generate any power
low full toss outside leg stump, Christian tries to paddle this down the keeper's left, but takes his thigh pad. Going down the keeper's left anyway, but he does well to dive and stop
backs away while Siddle's running in, low full toss outside leg stump, crunched off the front foot to cover
overpitched full and wide outside leg stump. Slipped out of his hands
full outsie leg stump, makes some room and crunches this inside-out to deep backward point. Handy work near the ropes stops the boundary

Hurricanes need 29. Twelve balls to go. Here's Dan Christian at the non-striiker's end. Siddle to bowl around the wicket
taken in the deep! Full toss wide outside off, slapped over point, and straight down deep point's throat. McDermott has to go. He got a lot of power behind that shot, but the fielder was up to the task
Chetan Parate: "Rashid Khan's first wicketless BBL match!"
short and wide outside off, tries to pull, but once again, takes a top edge. Flies over Carey's head. Useful boundary
chest-high yorker outside off, carved off the back foot to backward point. Misfield from the man, allowing them to take the second. Free hit coming up
overpitched full outside off, tries a wild slog, but the ball zips under his bat
full outside off, crunched over cover for two more. Effort for the man at wide long off, forcing him to race across to his left
